Lupita Nyong’o has revealed what it was like on the the first day working on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever following the passing co-star Chadwick Boseman, who died two years ago.
‘It was hollow. It was very evident that he was missing and we were all feeling it, but also we had each other, so we were able to lean into each other, it was actually the only way to go forward I imagine was to lean into it and be there for each other,’ the actress, 39, said on Good Morning America.
‘It was good to be making this with a bunch of people who knew him, who had experienced his light and his love and so we could commiserate and really lean on each other,’ she added.
